It’s estimated that 55 million Americans will travel over the Thanksgiving holiday. That’s the highest level since the pandemic began and the third-highest since AAA began tracking the holiday in 2000.
At the same time, Covid cases have been steadily rising nationally, with the most recent 24-hour total being 111,386, according to John’s Hopkins. That’s the highest number of new infections in a day since August 12. Given the proliferation of at-home tests, the real number is likely much higher, say experts.

Its test positivity sits at a staggering 24%. Hospitalizations in the state are up 53% over the same period. For perspective, aside from the earliest days of the pandemic, the current positivity rate in Arizona is higher that it ever was across hard-hit California.
Speaking of which, the Golden State’s daily average number new cases over two weeks is up 48%, while its average test positivity is 6%, according to the Times. California’s largest metropolis, which accounts for one-quarter of the state’s population, is seeing steeper increases.
On Wednesday, Los Angeles County health officials reported 3,077 new Coivid cases. That’s the highest one-day number since mid-August during the summer wave. L.A.’s seven-day average daily rate of people testing

are everywhere right now, but Prime Video's latest for the genre, Something From Tiffany's, has something I've never seen before: When Ethan (Kendrick Sampson) wishes Rachel (Zoey Deutch) a “Merry Christmas,” she responds: “I'm Jewish, by the way!” Without skipping a beat, Ethan immediately wishes her a Happy Hanukkah. Rachel smiles and eventually walks away, but not before shouting out a cheerful goodbye.
